Description: The Krebs is a historic restaurant founded in 1899 by Fred and Cora Krebs. The restaurant has been a popular landmark in Skaneateles for over 100 years serving past presidents, dignitaries and celebrities. Four years ago, the restaurant was purchased by Adam and Kim Weitsman to save it from closing for the residents of Skaneateles and future generations. The Krebs has gone through an extensive four-year renovation while preserving the history and beauty visitors have grown accustomed to. The Krebs vision is a farm to table concept utilizing fresh hand picked local ingredients and the highest quality meats and seafood available. Hired to lead the culinary team at The Krebs restaurant is Executive Chef Dan Kennedy. Zagat Guide recognized Chef Dan in 2015 as 30 under 30 innovators redefining the industry. Dining at The Krebs helps women and children in need. The Krebs restaurant commits all net profits to various CNY women and children’s charities.

We were taking a drive, enjoying the stunning view of the autumn leaves changing around Skaneateles Lake and the surrounding areas. Krebs felt like the perfect place to grab brunch! We arrived about 5 minutes before they opened, so we sat on the porch and snuggled into a blanket that was thoughtfully placed on the rocking chair for people like us! Inside was so beautiful and the staff was so friendly. When brunch arrived, not only was it like art on a plate, but the large portions were delicious! I would highly recommend Krebs for Sunday brunch!

We had not been to the Krebs in over 40 years. It has morphed from a quint country inn to an upscale elegant dining room. The food and service were excellent. The rooms set up to be intimate and the bar was lively and friendly. If you are in the area, visiting Syracuse, it is more than worth the 35-40 minute drive. We were here to celebrate our grandsons 19th birthday.

My husband and I were visiting Skaneateles for the first time and dined here last Saturday, having heard it was one of the best restaurants in the area. Built in 1890, the building has tremendous character and ambience, enhanced by the lovely music playing on the sound system. We were seated in a corner booth like configuration next to the fireplace — very romantic! Each seating area has drapes sectioning it off and which are able to be closed for privacy if needed; plus the tables are spaced far enough apart so you are not hearing the neighboring diners’ conversation. Having had a big lunch we chose to order just two entrees and a side veggie. The fish special that evening was baked cod over cubed Yukon Gold potatoes in a light sauce topped with pickled baby pearl onions — absolutely delicious. We ordered the roasted Brussels sprouts which normally are cooked with a bechamel sauce and cheese but because my husband needed a gluten free meal, they omitted the sauce and just topped it with cheese, Gouda I think. So they were very hard and almost raw when they arrived and we had to ask them to cook them a bit more. When they came back the sprouts were perfect, cheesy and delectable. If not for having to return the sprouts to the kitchen, it would have been a perfect dining experience. The wait staff was friendly, attentive and accommodating — oh, and I forgot that they made hot gluten free biscuits for my husband who needed a gluten free meal. They were absolutely delicious!

We wanted to browse the shops in Skaneateles before our reservation at 6pm. It was perfect. We arrived 5 min early and our table was ready. We had a cocktail and endive salad and the pork belly. They both were great! Our main course was the Amish chicken and a NYS strip steak. For dessert we split the Chocolate torte! A fantastic meal at a beautiful restaurant for our 34th anniversary!

Incredible experience - the beautiful decor and atmsophere is undoubtedly the best in town. We had many of the craft cocktails because they were so good! It’s rare to find a place that actually makes the cocktails from scratch to this level of quality. Our meals were cooked to perfection, and the portions were larger than our last visit (no complaint there!) without sacrificing the food quality. Once we thought our experience couldn’t get any better - the desserts really topped the ending of our night! What a creative and delicious menu of options.... will definitely be going back soon!
